   Mrs. Elizabeth Thrasher Slaybaugh, who was born in Delaware 
county, O., Jan. 8, 1838, died at her home near Metz, Ind., August 
24, 1897.  Having moved with her parents to this county in 1853, she 
has since resided in this vicinity.  Her life has been that of an 
earnest devoted Christian, a blessing and benediction to her home, 
community and church.  Converted at the early age of eight years, 
her life has been an example of patient Christian labor and 
devotion.  In 1855 she united with the Pleasant Lake Baptist church 
with which organization she retained her membership until her death.  
October 9, 1862, she was united in marriage to Isaac Slaybaugh.  To 
this union were born nine children, eight of whom with the father 
and husband survive her.  The funeral was conducted at the home by
